Immunogold electron microscopical detection of tubulin and actin within mycelial phase Histoplasma capsulatum capsulatum and H. capsulatum duboisii

Mycoses. 1989 Aug;32(8):405-10. doi: 10.1111/j.1439-0507.1989.tb02271.x.

Abstract

Immunogold electron microscopy using LR Gold as a resin was undertaken to determine the distribution of actin and tubulin within the hyphae of Histoplasma capsulatum capsulatum and H. capsulatum duboisii. Both of these proteins were found throughout the cytoplasm when probed with the appropriate monoclonal antibodies.
